Fox is going on 17 and acts like he's 10. If you want better fineness EPDs and uniform, fine, pigmented gray fleeces with lots of crimps per inch and essentially no guard hair, he's the one! This line produces lingering 13 to 19 micron pigmented gray fleeces...consistently. Fox's first five fleeces were combined into one lot to make yarn at Heart and Soul and they commented on the uniformity of the lot. Thanks to his sire, Royal Bronze, Fox is a master at overall uniformity, removing guard hair and fining down fleeces and adding more crimps per inch, good staple length, along with deep and vivid colors. He's a SILVER GRAY, SNOWMASS BRED, AOBA NATIONAL COMPOSITE CHAMPION and well proven to produce healthy, correct, typey progeny! He is highly ranked for other traits too. He virtually removes all guard hair, including belly and bib. We attribute this amazing ability to his sire, Snowmass Royal Bronze, who is recognized by Julie Skinner as having recognized as having strong vicuna traits. Density? He has royal fine daughters (see Dream Catcher) with 4+ pound tui blankets and SDs in the 3s. Character? Gray daughter, Mellona, is 14.5 afd, 3.5 cv; 59 curve (not a typo) @ 21 mos. and then a 63 curve the next year! Uniformity? Hardly anything to skirt out of his progeny's fleeces. Offspring have very consistent, uniform and high yielding fleeces...Little to no skirting is needed for these big blanket fleeces. Primary and secondary fibers are very similar, even across colors in the gray fleeces, most of which are pigmented silver grays. In every offspring you will see higher frequency & amplitude crimp. ZERO to minimal guard hair...no matter the dam or color of the cria. You'll likely never see any guard hair on the belly of a Fox offspring. Soundness and health, correct phenotype, conformation and movement. Even dispositions and very intelligent...and even a few silly personalities.

Named after the Jarden Exotique in the country of Monaco (dam's name). Her baby fine fleece has good density with high definition crimp from the front of her topknot to the tip of her tail, high brightness and a silky handle. She's has a gorgeous rich color that is nearly black and it fades to maroon (not brown). She has unique fleece coloring, similar to her grandsire, P. Orion. Exotique hails from the later Peruvian imports and P. Andrajo (Alianza coop) and is unrelated to the popular Hemingway, Guellermo and all Accoyo lines. Exotique is a full sister to blue ribbon winner Christina who is one of our producers of top quality. Our home-bred 2004 Champion, Constantino, was 12 when he sired this beauty. In his 5-year long very successful show career the judges called him the future of the industry. And over a decade later he just keeps turning out keepers...both daughters and sons. He also sired KCAF Bonafide and KCAF Travelin' Man, both who won first place ribbons in 2016. Her first cria is a pretty fawn female born in 2019. Exotique birthed easily and is a very attentive mom.

We are grateful to Crescent Moon Ranch for putting Sizzin' Shak in the CABA/AWE 2023 auction. Our Shak crias are due beginning July 2024. They will be from tried and true pedigree combinations. Shak is a calm male with a gentle nature. His production record is fantastic. He has sired multiple champion offspring and they display the whole package of excellence...type, conformation, density, consistent character, uniformity...did we say dense?...coverage and extreme uniform fineness...with good bites. As of spring 2023, Shak has 22 AOA registered offspring with show placings as follows for second place or better: One placed second. Four received firsts. Two earned RCs and four earned CHs. So ten of his 22 offspring thus far, have placed first or better. Sizzlin Shak is a paternal half brother to Red Granites' Val D Lsere. Daughter, Woop De Doo, received female color championship at 2022 AOA. Son, Paulinus, received male color championship at 2023 AOA. Son, Anerobico, received male color championship and Judge's Choice at CABA. Shak is available for limited breedings to approved females. Co-owned with La Finca Alpacas and Alpacas of Pachamama.
